Essay 2-03: "Mrs Doubtfire"
I have watched "Mrs. Doubtfire" before and I thought only that it was very funny movie then. So I considered this movie well for the first time. This movie was so funny that I enjoyed it very much, and it makes me happy and tells me that family is important and valuable. The main character is Daniel (father), three children (two girls and one boy), Miranda (mother) and the heroine (?) of the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. Daniel is a humorous father and he loves his children very much. He always dose as he likes, so Miranda were tired and she could not stand his acting at last. Then they divorce.First, the movie tells us love. Daniel loves his family, especially his children. After Daniel and Miranda divorced he wanted to meet his children. When Miranda came for children to Daniel's house earlier, Daniel insisted that he had still his time. He wanted to meet his children no matter what, he disguised as an English housekeeper at last. He could do that because he really loves them. He was a humorous father in front of his children but when he was a Mrs. Doubtfire, he was a strict and he took care of them. First the children didn't trust and listen to her but they gradually opened their mind and liked her. There were filled with smiles. If he were sad and painful, he could overcome them because he had a great affection for family. Daniel told his children and wife to love through a Mrs. Doubtfire.
Second, the movie also tells they need communication. Daniel and Miranda must have loved each other at first but they gradually didn't get along. If they loved very much, they crush gradually each other without communications because I can't know that she or he think to what. It is impossible for everybody such as friends and parents and their children. Daniel disgusted Mrs. Doubtfire and heard Miranda's thought for Daniel. Then he knew his bad points and cause so he could change them. It influenced on relationship between Daniel and his children.
If you consider somebody well but you don't tell them to him or her, the things goes wrong undoubtedly. When I work at part time job, I am always told that I have to communicate with our partners. If I do that, the work will go smoothly without mistakes or with a little mistakes and I will get trust from partner and customers. So it is very important for us to go well. We need communication not only family but also other place.
As a conclusion, I think this movie told love and communication in family, and we also need them. I haven't thought that family is very important for me, but I think that I have to thank for my family through this movie. This movie tells us that family is important, precious, and supported, and helps me. I could not have lived without my family. So I want to consider my family more and support and help for my family.

My Language Learning History
When I was eight years old I went to the English conversation class for the first time. Because my mother wanted me to like and to be able to speak English. At the class, I did mainly games, singing songs, listening, memorizing, writing and so on except conversation. I enjoyed and it was good for me, I think. I became to like English.
I wanted to be able to speak English, so I took part in English speech contest with friends for three years during the junior high school. We did our best at the contest, but we could not get the prize. However, we had very precious and good experiences. When I was in the eighth grade, I went to Canada for two weeks for home stay program. I went to Halifax in Nova Scotia. It was country but people were so kind, gentle and friendly, so I like them very much and I want to go there again. I like Canada!
In high school, I learned reading, listening, writing, grammar, and oral communication. It was different from junior high school. I only enjoyed in junior high school but it was enough for a enjoyable in high school. It also included difficult and hard but I liked English so I decide to study English in KGU.
I have studied French since I entered the university. I am interested in Europe, of course France, because it is so fashionable. It was very difficult, for example, grammar and pronunciation although it was similar to English. The class is translate "Jeanne d'Arc" French into Japanese. It is so difficult that we need dictionary and preparation before a class.
Last year, I studied Korean. I have been interested in Korea because It had been very very popular about Korea in Japanese people such as movie and drama, and it is nearby Japan. It was the first time that I studied the Hangul alphabet at the class. At first, it was troubling to understand Hangul, but I understood gradually because my interest was superior to my troubling. I want to learn Korean more and more after this, and I want to go South Korea at any cost.
In this year, I have studied Chinese because I also had been interested in Chinese. However, it is more difficult than Korean, I thought. Translating from Chinese into Japanese is easier because it is used kanji, but it was more troubling to pronounce and have good intonation. I need more studied harder.
To learn foreign language is important for me, and it makes me growing up. I am very happy when I could read or understand French or Korean unexpected. If you are in Foreign Language Department or you are interested in foreign language, I think you had better start to study them or to study more and more. It will surely be good for you. I intend to study them after this, and I want to use them in the future.

Bridget Jonse

I watched "Bridget Jones: the Edge of Reason" because I have watched it at least once. Also, many magazines said that it has been gaining support among many women of the same generation, and they have sympathized a lot. It was the best seller in the world. I will tell you about Bridget Jones. Bridget Jones is the main character in this movie. She is a not so beautiful woman and she is fat and smokes, so she is a common person that everywhere we can see. She is a journalist but she also bungee-jump for report. She is entrusted with a little strange job. So, she makes some boo-boo in jobs or her private life but she is humor. No matter what she does, it's hard to hate her.
However, she has a boyfriend whom she loves very very very much. His name is Mark Darcy. He is a lawyer. He is a nondescript face and courteous person. Whatever Bridged does, he never angry and hate her. He always loves her. He is an elite and he is contrasts with her.
They spend happy days as same as ordinary people, but one day she was informed Daniel Cleaver by her producer. He is her old boyfriend and he is a also journalist and her boss. He is so sexy that he's always fooling around with women. So, she hates him now.
When Bridget was said that the date would be late by Mark, she went consulting to three undesirable friends. Then she was said that Mark may be having an affair with a woman. The woman is Rebecca. She is only 22 years old and she has long legs. Bridget was worrying and she went to his house in a flurry. She punted into his house, and there are many Mark's bosses. She put to shame in them. Rebecca is a subordinate for Mark. When she was invited a party of lawyer's association, she put to shame again. She felt that she got along them well because they were much cleaver than she. Also she felt that she was inferior to Rebecca. Bridget and Mark didn't get along because of it. They made up but she said good-bye to him after all because she thought he had the affair with Rebecca.
After 5 months, Bridget, her friend and Daniel went to Thailand because of the same job. There she was tempted him but she refused his temptation. She didn't forget Mark. Before taking a plane to come back to their country, Bridget was arrested and flung into prison for cocaine, but it was mistake. She was helped by Mark. To the truth, He had still loved her. Rebecca actually loves Bridget not Mark! She is a lesbian!! Bridget and Mark were finally joined in marriage.
Bridget is not special woman. She is ordinary woman. She loves, worries, cries and she is a scatterbrain. She is fat, so she has an inferiority complex for her body. She was given up for luck, and her timing is always bad, but she is honesty. She has lived straight. When she feel sad or worrying, she has the help of her friends or her family. She tries to do as hard as she could, so she gets many sympathies from a lot of contemporary women. If you lost heart, you would try hard, and the good going occurs to you. In the end she said "I truly believe that happiness is possible."

My University Life
Firstly, it is to study language. I like English, so I am studying English in this university but I think that I don't have enough English skill at all. So, I have to study English harder than now. I think I want to get the job that I use English in our country or foreign country, but I have not yet decide what I want to do in the future. Therefore, I have been looking for them now. I have a course about Japanese from 18:00 to 19:30 every Monday and Friday, and I am very interested in it. So, I must study Japanese and teaching methods.
My second foreign language is French. I have studied for two years, but it is so difficult for me. Except for French, I took Korean last year because I am interested in Korean very much. It was a little difficult, but I could come to read the Hangul alphabet. I want to go to South Korea someday! In this year, I am taking Chinese, however, it was so difficult especially pronunciation and intonation. Although these are not so easy, but I am in the Foreign Language Department so I want to know other foreign languages.
Secondly, it is friends. I like to talk with my friends at bakery, the bench while basking in the sun. When I was sad or depressed, my friends listened to my thoughts and worries and advised me, and I was helped by them many times. We are always taking classes, or having lunch, or talking together and playing a lot. I like them very much, and they are precious treasure in university life.
Recently, I joined badminton circle and I go to play every Thursday after classes. I had been in badminton club from junior high school to senior high school. So, I like to play badminton. When I went to the circle for the first time, there were no people whom I know, but we came to talk little by little these days. I like to make friends and talk them, so I am looking forward to going the circle every Thursday. Spending the time with friends is very important for me and for you in our life, I think.
Thirdly, it is part time job. I have two part time jobs. One is a hostess at wedding and the other is KFC. I usually work at wedding on Saturday and Sunday, and KFC is on ordinary days. I prefer hostess to KFC because the hostess is impressed with the bride and groom and their people, so it is a work worth doing. It is happy for me to be helpful to someone, so I want to continue this part time job.
In these circumstances, I think that I am living a comfortable university life everyday. The university life is not only studying, part time job, playing but also being compatible with them. I like friends, circle, bakery, a students' dining hall and a little classes. I like KGU, I like all of KGU. If I didn't have them, I would spend terrible university life. I appreciate it and I want to make good use of my university life for four.
